As the temple town of Ayodhya readies for its world-renowned grand Deepotsav celebrations, an alarming wave of threat emails has put administrative machinery and security agencies on hyper-vigilance. In the latest incident on Thursday morning, panic erupted after Amar Public School, located near Devkali Bypass in Ayodhya, received a threatening email warning of bomb blasts scheduled for Diwali day. The school administration immediately raised the alarm with local law enforcement, triggering rapid mobilization of quick-response teams, bomb detection squads, and anti-sabotage personnel across the surrounding premises. The threat marks another aggressive cyber-intimidation attempt aimed at disrupting the holy city’s peaceful festive build-up.

Serial Threat Emails Target Schools and Judiciary Across Three UP Cities

The threat to Amar Public School is not an isolated event; it represents the continuation of a disturbing multi-day barrage of cyber threats. Just twenty-four hours earlier, threat emails were simultaneously dispatched to the Ayodhya District Court complex, Parma Academy School, as well as educational institutions in neighboring Ambedkar Nagar, Varanasi, and Mathura. The emails, sent under the purported banner of a pro-Khalistani extremist outfit (“Khalistan National Army”), warned of serial explosions between November 8 and November 27 targeting courts, religious shrines, and academic campuses. Taking serious note of the recurring electronic messages, Chief Judicial Magistrate Piyush Tripathi had already directed senior police authorities to fortify court security with regular canine inspections and round-the-clock physical sweeps.

Multi-Agency Cyber Probe Launched to Trace the Sender’s Digital Footprint

With panic spreading among school staff, parents, and local citizens, the Uttar Pradesh Police and central intelligence units have launched an extensive technical investigation. Specialized cyber crime teams from Ayodhya, Lucknow, and Mathura are currently tracking IP routing trails, proxy origins, and Virtual Private Network (VPN) footprints to unmask the individuals or malicious syndicates behind these emails. Preliminary assessments suggest these messages are part of an engineered psychological warfare tactic designed to spark panic during peak festival footfall, but security commanders maintain that every alert is being treated with the highest degree of operational seriousness until verified otherwise.

Fortified Security Ring Thrown Around Ramnagari and Major Shrines

In response to the escalating threats, extensive security perimeters have been established across all high-density zones in Ayodhya. Senior police officials, alongside teams from Ayodhya Kotwali and Cantt police stations, have intensified patrolling around temple clusters, railway hubs, bus terminals, entry checkposts, and prominent schools. Heavy deployment of Rapid Action Force (RAF), Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC), and civil police in plain clothes has been activated across the Sarayu ghats, where preparations for the mega lamp-lighting spectacle are in full swing. District authorities have appealed to the public not to succumb to unverified rumors circulating on social messaging channels, assuring that comprehensive, layered security nets are operational to ensure complete safety throughout the festive season.
